What this 16-bit MCU brings to a metering design
It is part of the MSP430F6xx series, which targets energy measurement and smart-grid applications. The distinguishing feature is the dual ADC block: three 24-bit sigma-delta converters paired with eight 10-bit successive-approximation channels, allowing simultaneous high-resolution current/voltage sensing and auxiliary monitoring on a single chip.
Texas Instruments has discontinued this specific package variant (100-LQFP), and no last-time-buy window is indicated in the available records. Any new design should migrate to a current-production MSP430F6xx variant or a pin-compatible alternative within the family.
It is a surface-mount device intended for reflow soldering.
